Having previously worked with Kivanc, and being impressed with his work ethic, I employed him to work with Rhythm pharmaceuticals in 2018. He worked for me for 30 months, leading first in country efforts in Turkey and Greece. He was an award-winning top performer as an MSL at Rhythm and I expanded his remit to include national and international tasks. He became strategically strong during our time together, and his development was only aided by his hard working and calm manner. He produced national plans and his knowledge of the Turkish rare disease environment, and of the wider region, assisted the company’s development beyond medical affairs. He developed a first-class knowledge of Turkish and Middle East Market Access and distribution over the 30 months. For Turkey and the Middle East rare disease or difficult to treat, in my opinion, he would be the “go to” person.
